Jill Hermans completed her Honours degree in Fine Arts at Monash University in 2009 and has since moved back to Clifton Creek in East Gippsland to enjoy a sustainable lifestyle, off grid, in the bush. Her practice is materials, processes and techniques driven, finding endless fascination in the reactions between molten metals, oxides, enamel and flame. Her work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally.
This recycled sterling silver range is materials driven. Through the application of heat, Jill is able to transform the silver, allowing the elements to expand & contract, relax & bubble. Her addition of clear enamel highlights & adds contrast, whilst also adding an element of chance.
